Meet Dr. Pavin & Dr. Erin — East Vancouver’s Family Chiropractic Team
The Hearts Behind The Chiro Culture
We’re Dr. Pavin and Dr. Erin Rakhra. A husband-and-wife chiropractic team based in East Vancouver, and the founders of The Chiro Culture.
Our story started in California, where we met in chiropractic school, fell in love over a shared passion for health and family, and decided we wanted to build something together. That something became The Chiro Culture; a clinic rooted in the belief that great chiropractic care should feel personal, not transactional.
Nearly a decade later, we’re proud to have built one of East Vancouver’s most trusted family chiropractic practices. We specialize in pregnancy, infant, and pediatric chiropractic and through Dr. Erin’s AVCA accreditation, we’re one of the few clinics in Vancouver offering animal chiropractic alongside human care. Whether you’re growing your family, raising little ones, or just want to feel better in your body, we’d love to be part of your health journey.
Thank you for being part of our community. We don’t take the trust you place in us lightly.

“Healthy people make healthy families, and healthy families make healthy communities” – Dr. Erin
Dr. Pavin Rakhra, DC
Dr. Pavin has been practicing chiropractic for nearly a decade, with a deep focus on pregnancy, prenatal, and pediatric care. He holds additional training in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) along with many other courses/ continuing education expanding his knowledge around milestones, oral ties, head shaping and more!
What drives Dr. Pavin is straightforward: he loves taking care of families. From first-trimester moms navigating a changing body to newborns with feeding challenges to school-aged kids dealing with growing pains, he shows up for every stage with the same level of attention and care.
Loves family walks with Dr. Erin, their two children, and pup Tui.

Dr. Erin Rakhra, DC
Dr. Erin practices with a dual focus that makes The Chiro Culture genuinely unique. She is both a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor and one of a small number of AVCA-accredited animal chiropractors in the Vancouver area.
Her human chiropractic practice centers on supporting mothers through pregnancy and postpartum, and babies to children through the early stages of development. She is deeply passionate about birth, early childhood health, and the ripple effect that a well-supported pregnancy and postpartum period has on the whole family.
Her animal chiropractic practice, through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA), extends that same philosophy of whole-family care to the four-legged members of your household. She sees dogs and cats at the East Vancouver clinic, bringing the same gentleness and thoroughness to animal care that she brings to her human patients.
Loves going on family camping trips
